> [!tldr] A collection of tips for working with multiple Obsidian vaults easily
[[Obsidian]] is great. No shockers there. A lot of folks have **one big Obsidian Vault**. I have a few different ones:
1. [[My Notes]]
2. [[My Obsidian-Based Project Management System]]
3. [[Quartz Publishing]]-based Blog → https://aarongilly.com
4. Development vaults for [[Auto-properties Plugin]] & [[Semantic Canvas]] plugin
5. Working a [[PDW|Data Journal]] guide vault
Switching between them has historically been one of few points of friction I have working with Obsidian. With some updates they've made over the past few months, those frictions are all but gone.
Tips:
- **Links between vaults** - use [[Obsidian URIs]] to create links between notes in different vaults
- the [[Command Pallet]] `Copy Obsidian URL for current file` command in one vault, then paste in another
- **Open specific vault from your home screen** - create multiple Obsidian links on your home screen using [[Obsidian URIs]] and [[Shortcuts App|Siri Shortcuts]] - this makes it one-tap to open any vault from your phone's home page
- Prefer vault names without spaces - you *can* include spaces [[URI]]s by replacing them with `%20` - but it's just easier if your vaults have one-word names.
